@essjay_theafrocentricratchet — Essjay TheAfrocentricRatchet

Chicago born Minneapolis Transplant, EssJay TheAfrocentricRatchet, is bum-rushing the hip hop scene, one lyrical haymaker at a time. An independent artist, EssJay’s style displays the gritty and ecclectic upbringing experienced growing up in the rough and culture rich streets of Chicago. Their aggresive bars, unapologetic braggadocio, and true passion for the genre has turned EssJay’s shortcomings into her greatest assets. Diagnosed Bi-Polar in the fall of 2017, EssJay has since used music and her growing platform as a therapeutic resource and tool to speak on mental health, normalizing big body confidence, overcoming generational trauma and more.
